User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Haven’t grown gills yet…
This truly is Amoxicillin without a prescription. I went through a period without any health insurance and had heard of the “fish mox” thing before but was always nervous about it.

The pills I received were clearly marked ‘WEST WARD 938′, if you google that you’ll find its been cleared for human consumption. This is the same stuff you’d get filled by your local clinic anyway.

Although I can’t recommend self medication, I can say that the pills are safe for human consumption. Keep in mind taking antibiotics without a genuine need to is always bad news. The only reason I ’self medicated’ was because my entire house came down with strep throat and we all had the exact same symptoms.

5 Stars Let’s not be stupid
This product works exactly as it should. Those of you who are boldly stating that you took this product to get over a cold, are going to eventually get these type of loophole products banned. Please do not go boasting about how it works great for human consumption or else we might find this product unavailable in the future. This isn’t rocket science people.

5 Stars Might help
I purchased this product and though the safety seal on the outside was intact, the inner seal was broken and inside the cap when I opened. Contacting the seller, who gave excellent customer service, they assured me it is designed that way. So this might help others in the future if they are concerned. Have not used product YET but all indications show that amazingly it is pharmaceutical grade Amoxicillin (though I am NOT a trained pharmacy technician). Excellent product and Excellent Customer service!

5 Stars very pleased with product
I was very pleased with my purchase and hope to do business with them again.

5 Stars FAST cure or my dog’s UTI/Bladder Infection!
100% amoxicillin!!! I gave it to my dog to clear up her UTI/Bladder Infection. She had the same infection in the past and was treated with clavamox and prescription dog food. I gave her the amoxicillin and prescription dog food and she’s feeling 100% better. Much cheaper than buying the amoxicillin from a vet and paying for an office visit. If I didn’t know what was wrong with her, I definitely would have taken her to the vet, however with her breed, she gets them often and I now know how to treat it. Clavamox is 90% amoxicillin, and 10% of another medication, however I caught the infection in it’s early stage because I know what to look for and the amoxicillin worked just fine. Thanks for all the reviews that informed me that this medication can be given to pets and humans. I personally can’t take it because I’m allergic to it, but it’s nice to have antibiotics on standby for my animals.

Whisper Bio Bag Cartridge Large 12 pk Unassembled

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Good Filters
They work just as they are supposed to. I have been using Whisper Bags for years and will continue to do so.

5 Stars good deal for my Koi.
I have two rather large Koi in a 30 gallon aquarium. They cloud up the watter pretty rapidly and these filters need to be changed frequently. Nothing makes the Koi happier than a good feed and fairly clean water.

Needless to say, these are the most economical filters I have found.

5 Stars Great price
Great price. Locally I would have paid $38 for two boxes, plus the gas to get there. This deal is way better.

5 Stars Easy to use
Bio-Bag cartridges are a no mess, easy-to-use product that does a great job of keeping my fish healthy and happy.

We have been doing a whole house remodel for over 18 months so our poor aquarium has not been getting the attention it deserves. And yet even when the water is just trickling through the old filter (because the old filter is totally clogged because I haven’t changed it in God knows how long), I can pop in a new one and turn it back on and “presto!” clear water again. And when I FINALLY drag out the gravel vac to suck all the nasty stuff up, the Bio-Bag turns the brown sludge back into clean, clear water in less than an hour. Needless to say, my fish think Bio-Bags are the BEST!

5 Stars Great product and Awesome seller!
I’ve kept this product on hand for years for my dogs and - because it is the same thing as what is prescribed for humans - myself. I’ve never purchased from this seller before but will definitely do so in the future.

5 Stars saved my cats life !!!!
we live in pgh pa and have been caught in a bad blizzard for over a week. my cats became sick w cat flu from a stray cat theyd been exposed too and due to the 4 ft of snow no vets in town were seeing animals.

my younger cat was recovering fine but my older female that caught it developed pneumonia and we were afraid she would die cause we couldnt find a vet anywhere in this weather and even if we had we couldnt get to one with the roads impassable in most areas .

it was suggested to me that this brand of fish antibiotics could help save her if i could get them shipped very fast as the cats condition wasnt very good .always be careful if giving fish meds to cats tho that you order a brand with no harmful additives as i have heard that some fish antibiotics do contain additives harmful to other pets but researched this brand and saw that it works fine on other animals provided you dose it by weight.

i ordered this product after calling to verify it was in stock as any delay could have been very bad for my cat. after i explained what was wrong the very helpful seller checked his stock and had it shipped right out and its in my hands already today. total time from order to reciept was only 2 days and we are thankful to have found this product available from a great seller :)

thx so much again and im sure ember would thank you too as she couldnt have gone on much longer with such a horrible infection.

i ordered the l-lysine product too viralys because i have read that with the virus that my cats have it stops virus replication and makes them better faster its prescribed by vets to treat the condition my cats all had so they all will be using that too and im very happy with my purchase.highly recommended seller..

Enhance Your Residence With A Choice Of Fish Tanks

Friday, March 5th, 2010

It might not be an obvious choice, but including fish tanks as a way to beautify your home is a superb idea. If you have kids, a habitat is a wonderful addition to your home and a relatively easy way to keep a pet. Children can learn responsibility by way of having to feed the animals and clean their home properly. It is educational in that it also teaches a child, in their formative years, how to breed and take care of another living creature.

Water features come in a variety of styles and designs. The different types of creatures living inside will fascinate your children. Your adult guests will more than likely take a particular interest in your new design addition as well.

Keeping fish does mean responsibility. Don’t decorate the inside of your tank until after talking to someone at your local pet store. You can add some water plants and logs and watch them play hide and seek as well as improve the look of your habitat.

When picking an aquatic feature, keep in mind your home’s interior design. If you prefer colors that pop and are eye catching, then it is best to have one that is in keeping with this style. Choose creatures that are unique and colorful and will add to your home’s decor. If you prefer a style that is more muted, simple, then your unit should also be similar in design.

Water and fish are considered relaxing and water features create a calming atmosphere. It is also an excellent conversation starter during any get together. It will enchant the children and attract the adults. Many interior designers create wonderful spaces where they have prominently featured an aquatic feature. A whole area in your home can be set aside for extremely large tanks and that would certainly add a touch of luxury.

Fish in an office create a soothing, serene air to a room. A great stress reliever! They are an ideal attraction for a doctor’s office, particularly a pediatrician. These swimming friends will certainly ease a worried child’s mind! It is not unusual to see large-style units in corporate offices as they can create a rich, desirable look, a true sign of success/money!

A number of things should be kept in mind when keeping an aquarium. A decent filtration system will ensure the water is well oxygenated and cleaning it often will keep the fish healthy. The food should be administered on time and a thermometer should be used to keep an eye on the temperature of the water. The tanks also need to have correct lighting installed to keep the occupants calm.

Tanks with fancy multi-hued species enhance any space whether it is at home or in the office. There are numerous varieties available in different sizes. According to the rules of feng shui, keeping goldfish at home can enhance wealth and promote business. Choose wisely and maintain your fish tank well to enhance your home.

Adding a fish tank to your home is an excellent home decor idea. However there are certain accessories you will also need. Things like fish tank stands or even a fish tank coffee table. Whatever you need you will find some free information about it at our website.

Rules Of Thumb For Maintaining A Successful Aquarium

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Although you are new at fishkeeping, it’s possible for you to have a beautiful aquarium at home. Ensuring the health of the fish, plants, and other organisms in your tank can be tricky, but the rules on keeping an aquarium are quite simple.

The tank material and shape matters.

Consider buying rectangular glass aquariums. Although aquariums come in many kinds, shapes, and sizes, the better option for beginners are glass aquariums, as they are not as expensive as acrylic ones. They are also less prone to scratches and discoloration, so maintaining them won’t be so complicated. As for the shape, narrow cylindrical and spherical aquariums may be pleasing to the eye but are not always suitable for the fish. These types have too little water surface open to air. Fish get oxygen and discharge carbon dioxide through the water surface, so narrower aquariums can be suffocating for fish.

Pay attention to details.

If you want to reduce the risk of contaminating the water in your tank and poisoning the fish, know which materials are dangerous and keep it out of your tank. Since glass aquariums are not prone to scratches and yellowing, you get to avoid using polishing compounds that are normally toxic. Other harmful substances include detergent, paint, plastic, and soap. It’s also important to keep even the slightest hint of metal out of your tank because it poisons the fish.

Buy accessories and decors only from pet shops.

Coral, coral sand, marble chips, and other limestone products are among the materials that should not be placed inside your fish tank. Bits of these dissolve easily and make the water tough for the fish to live in. If you want to keep your fish alive and happy, the best choices are granite, quartz, and sandstone, minerals that can be used to decorate glass aquariums. If you don’t know these rules, you will simply think that any material which seems to look great in an aquarium is suitable. Therefore, it’s best to only use accessories and decor that you can buy from stores selling aquarium supplies, as they are made from materials that are safe for the fish.

Get the location right the first time.

The major setback to glass aquariums is that they’re heavy and more prone to breaking and leaking. Imagine how much heavier any tank is going to be once you fill it with water. For this reason, be sure to choose the right location for your tank right away, as moving it might cause the glass to crack.

Where is the best place to put your aquarium?

Aside from wind- and heat-generating equipment, constant and direct exposure to sunlight tends to overheat the water in your tank. Aside from that, it also causes rapid algae growth. Minimal presence of algae can be beneficial, but if it becomes excessive, algae will turn your tank water green. Algae are not only unattractive, but they also compete against fish and other plants for scarce nutrients in your tank. To avoid these risks, avoid direct sunlight except for very short periods. You may use artificial aquarium lighting instead.

Other aquarium care tips

To protect fish and plants inside your aquarium, place a cover on top. Some people think that using a glass cover will cut the supply of oxygen in an aquarium. This is a myth, however. Aquarium covers are designed such that they can allow adequate supply of air into the tank. Finally, avoid moving your tank once it’s been filled, as this may cause the glass to break or leak.

Even a beginner like you can maintain an aquarium successfully. All you need to do is to follow these simple yet effective tips. You’ll certainly be fulfilled as you watch your fish swim happily in your own aquarium.
